This Hemlock character is just terrifying. The fact that he said “I’m immune to my own nerve gas” suggests that he’s insanely crazy and his dark experiments are a lot more twisted than we thought.
While I love Star Wars, I'm also a huge history nerd. That being said, Dr. Hemlock reminds me a lot of Dr.Mengele, who was an SS Doctor for the Nazis in WWII and would not only order and authorize experimentation on prisoners in concentration camps, but would carry out some of those experiments himself. Since the Empire is basically space nazis, I think Dr.Hemlock is the Star Wars equivalent of Dr.Mengele. Just a thought.
@@GrandAdmiralThrawn.7th_Fleet Perhaps, like Mengele, he ultimately survived the Galactic Civil War (an analogue to WWII), and escaped to the Unknown Regions (as Mengele escaped to South America following the end of the war), possibly continuing his work in some Star Wars equivalent of, e.g., Colonia Dignidad and/or Cândido Godói. I suppose time will tell whether this was the case or not.
@@VanSisean Ooh, that'd be an interesting plot. What if Exegol is the South America in this plot line. Hemlock continued his research post Galactic Civil War and collaborated with Moff Gideon's team and together, they were ultimately responsible for bringing back Palpatine and for the cloning facility there. After all, if you've ever seen "Boys From Brazil" that was the primary plot. Mengele was in Brazil, researching how to clone and recreate a living Hitler. What if they pull that exact plot with Hemlock, Palpatine, and Exegol in Bad Batch? That would be a somewhat redeeming storyline for the Sequels, and it would certainly at the very least give it some backstory.
He either engineered the nerve gas to be no effect on his body Or he exposed himself to his own toxins until his body became immune to it Either way it characterizes how dangerous he is
I'm confused, weren't the death troopers in mandalorian? And they were droids? Then what were the droids the batch destroyed in Aftermath when tarkin wanted to test them?
Everyone's coming up with the trooper program, but I rather think he wants to re-ignite the inhibitor chip in some ways like it was intensified with Crosshair back on Kamino or use other methods to rebuild their loyalty.
But what about that one clone assassin from episode 7, he was wearing that cybernetic suit and he had his number wiped. I have a feeling whatever Dr Hemlock is doing has something to do with that.
I always felt that Hemlock's speech patterns and vocabulary choices reminded me of someone but I couldn't put my finger on it - but now I know it's Thrawn
@@efazchowdhury3866It’s actually Jimmy Simpson. He plays Liam McPoyle on It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia, whether that makes him less intimidating or not is up to you.😂🤣
@@thatoneradicalizedprussian225 No, its a difference between Moff and Grand Moff, Trakin was promoted to Moff by Palpatine in 19 BBY, meanwhile the Grand Moff rank was created some years before A New Hope. In this case the reason because Tarkin has an admiral rank plaque its only for an animation mistake
@@preciousotoakhia9789 Tapal would look into the cause of The Clones break down and realize it wasn't a Isolated incident but galaxy wide and realize The Clones weren't responsible for what happened
Idk what to tell them. It’s their fault really. Their mistrust of the clones would have started this. I mean yes some clones questioned their orders. But forcing clones to retire will just made more of them fight back.

I don’t like the sound of what he’s up to. This almost sounds exactly like a dark trooper program.
Dw, man, clones will kill those imps. There will be a clone rebellion.
@@Halo-motion I’m here for it

We know from the Vader comics that a lot of clones became Purge Troopers who assisted the inquisitors.

@@granthall6676I always assumed that clone was like an early phase 0 dark trooper or something similar.

It sounds like Troy Baker

Hemlock is so slimy. The other Imperial officials are just military men, but Hemlock is a legitimate mad scientist. Even more unscrupulous.
Spoiler Tarkin next episode name is Summit
I bet the empire will betray him like they did with rampart
phase zero darktroopers?
death troopers program
Why was Tarkin not wearing his Grand Moff rank plaque? Why was he wearing his old Admiral's rank plaque?
Tarkin wouldn't become a Grand Moff until later in his life, sometime before the start of Rebels.
@Mitchell Cole I know the book doesn't happen for a few more years.
@@MColeProductions but iirc he's already been promoted to grand moff in tbb, he's already been seen with the plaque previously

He had the Grand Moff plaque in episode 3 of the show, I guess it was an early design mistake they never removed.@@MColeProductions
It was too sucessful for The Clones to pull it off on their own without Jedi leadership or internal Help
Imagine a Jedi helping them after
@@preciousotoakhia9789 the Jedi wouldn't trust the Clones after what happened but some realized it wasn't The Clones doing like Ahsoka, Cal and Kannan

There is an old saying, treat your peers with kindness and respect and they will treat you back in return.
